Gentle little murders

My husband Ted and I love few things more than to end a busy day in front of the TV, him with a clipboard full of word and number puzzles (Sudoku, crosswords, KenKen, cryptogram, Two Not Touch), me with my bag of crocheting whatever welcome blanket is in progress (currently a Barbie pink one). With the news these days being hard to watch, we look for series of police procedurals set in Britain or other European countries or farther afield, and even in the US. The requirements: good scenery, a pleasant and well-matched ensemble of police officers, engaging bad guys and gals, a bit of humor, and a murder (not too gruesome) in almost every episode. Some of our favorites include Brokenwood Mysteries (set in New Zealand; pictured above), Shetland and Line of Duty (England), Death in Paradise, Only Murders in the Building (New York) and Longmire (Wyoming), The Mallorca Files (Mallorca), and Inspector Montalbano (Sicily). If you're into the gentle murder genre, what are you watching?
